Now follows the further life of the TD3 990492 !

In 1975 Risto Makinen sells the bike to Kent Karlsson who participates in the 1975 Swedish Junior Championship. Last race for the TD3 was Falkenberg (Sweden) in September 1975.

In the winter of 1975 the machine changes hand again and is purchased by Roger Pettersson (a cousin of Peter Sjostrom, a former 500 GP rider).

Roger Pettersson sells the TD3 again to Michael Sjostrom and in 1980 Peter Sjostrom purchases it from his cousin. (Anyway it stays in the family sofar).

Between 1975 and 1996 the poor TD3 was standing in a garage and was not moved anymore.......!

In 1996 it was found and purchased by Kjeld Hansen and he restored it to its former glory. Sometime later Torsten Weick, purchased it from Kjeld Hansen.

As Torsten Weick wanted to know everything he contacted Borje Jansson and it turned out that Borje is still the very precise man he always was (and is) as he had the invoices and all the other material, even some original Yamaha decals.
